Bosnia and herzegovina increased renewable energy penetration
In May 2025, Bosnia and Herzegovina generated 1,064 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity from renewable sources, a remarkable 75% increase compared to May 2024. This surge underscores the country's ongoing transition toward a more sustainable energy future. 5 TWh of electricity was generated in BIH - down 8 % year on year -caused by poor hydrology curbed output from dams. Coal still dominated the mix at roughly 33 %. Renewables, beyond hydro - mainly solar and wind - supplied close to 7 % (solar 4 %, wind 3 %). Despite the weaker. . This report benefited from the reviews and comments of numerous experts from the following institutions Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Federal Ministry of Energy, Mining and Industry, Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mining of Republika Srpska, Federal. . Electric power is primarily generated in coal-fired thermal and large-scale hydro power plants, and the country is a net exporter of electrical energy. The generating capacity is about 17,000 GWh. Hydropower remained the dominant source of. . Following robust acceleration in 2022, output growth slowed significantly in the first half of 2023, due mainly to worsening net exports, as external demand has been continuously weakening.
